“This is not only one of the best of the war books, it is a record of cooperative courage achieved by a group of men in a manner wholly American.” The New York TimesAt the outbreak of the Second World War U.S.S. Quail was in the Philippines sweeping mines to provide access for American shipping to South Harbor, Corregidor. Damaged by enemy bombs and guns during the Japanese invasion of the island John Morrill and his fellow men decided to make the decision to scuttle their ship rather than allow it to be captured.This led them to begin one of the most daring escapes of the Second World War.Lieutenant Commander John Morrill and sixteen fellow sailors took a thirty-six-foot diesel boat nearly two thousand miles through Japanese controlled waters.They moved mostly at night, with a homemade sextant, some salvaged charts, with little fresh water and food, but even despite these difficulties they eventually made their way to Darwin, Australia.“nonfiction account of his breathtaking escape in 1942 from the Japanese at Corregidor, the beleaguered U.S. fortress commanding Manila Bay in the Philippines.” The Washington Post“The enthralling story of how a handful of Navy men escaped from falling Corregidor southward to Australia in a leaky 36-foot landing boat.” Foreign Affairs“A matter of fact, modest and inherently dramatic account of an isolated incident in the pacific war” Kirkus ReviewsJohn Morrill was a Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy.

With men and leadership like this we could not lose any war. Hero’s in action and escape, the boat and the distance traveled, mostly in enemy controlled waters, speak for the incredible tale of survival and leadership. But the details were even better with the daring of landing through dangerous surf to confront strange, possibly dangerous peoples, let alone Japanese troops or sympathizers ashore. To repair and keep afloat their small boat, to stay healthy and single purposed with skill, good will, and discipline speaks to the high moral purpose of these men and the accomplishment of all American men and women who won WWII. Many of these books, first hand accounts of the War, are not easy to read, regardless of the brave story because of the writing style. Most were not written by professional writers. I found this particular raw style fun to read. The vernacular and phrasing is pure American GI, determined, even cocky, streetwise and often very witty and entertaining. I only wish it were more detailed and longer. It’s one of the great group survival and war stories, and I’ve read them all. Up till now!
